Week 13: In Class


  1. What is your reaction to the text you just read?
    • I was confused at first by the way things were described, they seemed so present yet futuristic that I couldn't really understand what was going on at first. It became interesting once the novel dropped hints towards cryogenic freezing as a method to 'age' or time travel for the characters. 
  2. What connection did you make with the story? Discuss the elements of the story with which you were able to connect.
    • I was able to personally connect with the setting and location of the story. As someone who was mostly raised in Orlando, 30 minutes away from Disney, I know the park by heart. The character Lil was someone I could relate to because she's from a similar situation, and besides that she was also raised on music from an older generation rather than her present one.
  3. What changes would you make to adapt this story into another medium? What medium would you use and what changes would you make?
    • If I were to change this story into another medium I'd most likely go with something that could appeal to a broad audience such as a film. When adapting this into a film it would be ideal to shoot at the actual location of Disney World but realistically that may be unlikely. The change of realistic shooting to cgi would have to be an open choice in order to produce the film.
